Examination:
Written, numerical exercises and theorethical questions (only in English!).

Intermediate written examination on the 1st part at mid of November;

Written examination on the 2nd part at the 1st official exam in January.

Both parts need to be sufficient, the mark will be an arithmetic average;

one or both parts can be recovered during the 2nd official exam date in
January-February.
Partial results are valid until the end of the winter session.

Complementary oral examination only for high marks (achieved by the

written exam):  29/30.
